I think a 5.5 might be too small for 2 toads . I think the smallest tank for 2 toads would be a 10 gallon .

Would it be alright for one then?

Firebelly toads are very active frogs. They would do better in at least a 10 gallon. They also enjoy each others company unlike most frogs. One lone toad is just that...one lone toad.

Alright, I'll have to give this some more thought then.

Welcome to the "hobby". Becarefull because before long it will become a "passion". I started a couple years ago with one toad in a 10 gal tank and now have 6. Like the others I think a 10 gal would be the smallest I'd go for a toad. I'd also suggest a couple because they do like to be together. Let us know how things turn out

Will do. I've been going back and forth between a pacman and these guys. I have the stuff to set up either (minus the tank, but that's usually the cheapest part). I know what you mean about hobbys becoming passions. I started with aquariums about 4 years ago and I've gone from simple freshwater with fake plants to a fully planted tank and a reef tank.

Talk about Obsessions...I had a reef setup for 15 years. That hobby is endless. you can set up an equally beautiful vivarium for a fraction of the cost. I have both firebellies and pacmans. Go with the toads.
